Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.” Jn 2:19

He Was Raised

In life some situations seem almost impossible for us to get over. In our attempt to rise up from such situation we struggle and give up miserably. That is when we need to turn to Our God, who alone can bring the dead back to life, as He raised His beloved Son Jesus. There is not a single thing that is impossible for Him; hence we should believe in Him and His words. Even those who stood in front of Him and directly interacted with Him, did not understand His words properly: “Jesus answered them, ‘Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.’ They replied, ‘It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?’ But the temple he had spoken of was his body. After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken” (Jn 2:19-22). May we be strengthened by the hope that He can bring us back to health and to prosperity wherever we are right now.

 

Abba, thank You so much for reviving our hope. Let Your Spirit make us believe in, and proclaim Your Son’s resurrection, in Jesus’ Most Loving Name, Amen.
